I don’t get why some of you get offended by my assumption. He has graduated from Stanford. He got what he attended Stanford for in the first place. He only has one more year to play. Returning to Stanford would be status quo since Stanford was expected to fold and probably didn’t recruit…not to mention their star(Jaylen Jasper) moving on to Pepperdine. Stanford will be in a rebuilding year.
What is wrong with him wanting to go elsewhere? It’s happening all over college athletics. You have a starring linebacker from Tennessee transferring to Alabama. You have a power forward from Harvard transferring to Ohio State and a Harvard point guard spending his last year at Seton Hall. Our own UH basketball team have lost many players due to them wanting to play at a higher level and be part of a more established program.
It’s silly to get all worked up over my assumption. I never insulted the young man. My assumption is all based on what is going on in the college landscape with student athletes trying to better their final year of college eligibility and see if they can get more out of their final year.

That person said that Presho only wants to play for UH because they are winning. Thats why we reacted. He is saying that Presho only wants to win not to play the sport.

Ehhh, for some guys it’s just nice to feel like your team is competitive and the hard work you’ve put into the sport feels validated. Not obnoxious/asinine whatsoever. Stanford had the tools to be successful each year he was there and just never panned out. America puts a Stanford education on a pedestal, which it more or less deserves, but I’m sure a high level athlete wants at least one year feeling like a big dog. You're being serious right now? Yes. Do you have a point to make or are you just going to pearl clutch?

I'll wait until you come down from that pedestal to have a real conversation. No one is on any pedestal. No one is hyping up over the title. It’s great but it’s basically history now. Presho has a chance to play for a program with a solid core that has an immediate need for a middle (or an opposite if he’s good there too) and gets to play in front of a fanbase that actually gives af about their Men’s Volleyball program and that’s not unheard of for a player to desire and seek out. But by all means, continue imagining whatever it is you thought I was implying.

That is absolutely not what i said Thats exactly what you are saying. You are implying Presho wants to go to UH because they are winning.

UH won only one national championship. And they only been great from 2019 (SVT, Worsley and Solbrig) and 2021 (Gage, Gasman, Rado, and Colton). UH doesn't only need a middle. They need a middle, libero, opposite and open. No one in the bench are effective replacement for Colton. Max isn't really that Gasman good in the middle. And honestly, in those that remained in UH, who can replace Rado and Gage? UH does not have an intact core. They are in a rebuilding phase.

That is absolutely not what i said Thats exactly what you are saying. You are implying Presho wants to go to UH because they are winning. No, im implying he wants to go to UH because there is a very good chance of him playing right away. But yes it is a factual statement that throughout Presho’s career, UH has had more winning seasons than Stanford has. If he is graduating and UH has his master’s program, why not HELP them continue winning? Never once did i say he is only going there to win because I don’t know what his reasons are but I can assume that he would like to win and have a supportive athletics fanbase, something Stanford does not have.

Please tell me where i said that and i will happily retract my statement. You have completely warped my words into an imaginary argument you are having in your own head. You can bitch about something that YOU are imagining that I am implying. Experienced, proven Middle depth would be a great thing to add and absolutely needed. Several players who were probably on the B side previous seasons have spent the past 1-2+ seasons playing against some of the greatest recent NCAA players every day in practice. Whoever they have coming in a libero will have gone up against the best and that is the ONLY position where there was little to no in game experience at the position by anyone else. Everywhere else will have solid core of guys competing for the open spots. Yes they are unproven but that doesn’t mean they are going to suck because they have been playing behind upperclassman. It’s literally the same stuff all the graduating seniors had gone through. Rebuilding or not, they have pieces that will help them be solid. Idk why you seem so hell bent on proving to me that Hawaii is going to be terrible next season and Presho shouldn’t come to UH at all. Keep sh*tting on players all you want though, maybe that’s all you’re here for.

There you go. You said it yourself. You think he wants to be with UH because he will win with UH. He would have won with UH last year or the year before. UH is in rebuilding. There chances are lower than ever because they relied too much on Gasman, Rado and Gage.

Belittling other schools and implying that athletes wants to be UH just because they are winning. I never said Presho should not go to Hawaii. Im just calling you out on your shallow explanation on why Presho would want to play for UH.

Your shallowness is showing. I love UH but you are acting like a delusional fan. UH only won one championship and you act like they are the elite. You say UH will still be this good because the players that remain played with Colton, Gage, Rado and Gasman. But look at Long at long beach. They lose Ensing and defalco. The players that play now played with them. Why didnt they win Big West? Using your logic, why didnt LB dominated 2020 before covid? Why is Long Beach not as threatening this year? Then you go and say that Presho would be going to UH because he wants to win. Are you kidding me? How old are you?
